Anybody know what type of soap or conditioner you would need to use to get a suffolk wool to go fluffy... i have used sheep suds and conditioner and can get to to fluff...when it fluffs it sets better on the sheep to give him shape...

Iron man,

Fluffy is not really what you want. You want the wool to stay tight. The only reason I would get it fluffy would be if you are then trimming if afterwards. Otherwise constant washing with plain water and not pulling too much at the wool is the job
